Summary
The documentation provides both Windows (SMB) and Linux (NFS) examples for all major AzCopy operations, ensuring parity in command syntax and options. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows path examples (e.g., 'C:\myDirectory') are always listed first in each example section, and special notes repeatedly instruct users to use double quotes in the Windows Command Shell, with single quotes as the default for other shells. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, and Linux-specific operational notes are present where relevant (e.g., NFS scenarios only supported on Linux). Overall, Linux coverage is strong, but Windows examples and instructions are consistently presented before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples so that Linux examples are sometimes presented first.
- Add a brief introductory note explicitly stating that all operations are supported on both Windows and Linux (where applicable), and clarify platform-specific limitations up front.
- Provide a summary table at the start of each section showing example paths for both Windows and Linux, to reinforce parity.
- Reduce repetition of Windows shell quoting notes by consolidating into a single section or sidebar, and add equivalent notes for Linux shells (e.g., bash, zsh) if needed.
- Consider including macOS examples where relevant, or explicitly state platform support for each scenario.
